This is a must after having dinner in chinatown!! There is a self-service kiosk at the entrance, but they also have an area where you can order in person. The service here is fairly quick for the amount of people that are here. It is always packed but the wait time is no more than 10 minutes. We will always order the strawberry and mango shaved ice with 2 scoops of matcha ice cream. The fruit is fresh (there's crates and crates of mangoes in the hallway). Sometimes the strawberries are a bit sour since they aren't in season, but the condensed milk helps balance it out. The matcha ice cream here is sooooooo good. This combination will hit every single time. 100/10 We did try their flan and we werent the biggest fans. Not sure if their flan is different than mexican traditional flan, but theirs seemed to be grainy and the flavor profile was off. We wouldn't order this again, but try it for yourself! Overall: 10/10 read more

Juicy Box - Strawberry and Mango Shaved Ice with Matcha Ice Cream - Taiwanese Near Me - Houston, Texas

Came to try their mango sago since I've heard good things about it and it did not disappoint. The ingredients are fresh and the proportions are perfect. It comes with a scoop of ice cream and mango chunks which make it very worth the price. Eating it with a spoon was definitely better than the straw since you can get each ingredient. Service was prompt and quick, ambiance was casual. I will definitely be adding Juicy Box to my dessert rotation. read more

visited houston for the first time and i definitely wanted to try this taiwanese owned dessert staple in chinatown!! we ordered their mixed fruit with strawberry ice cream and flan and switched out the watermelon for mango. pretty much everything here is customizable and they have a lot of different menu options, it's not just a shaved ice place. there's a pretty decent amount of seating, but i can see it being hard to find one if it's busy because it's still kind of a small space. everything was very clean though. all of the fruits tasted very fresh and the ice cream was sooooo good. great quality, it's not the cheap artificial strawberry. the condensed milk is a good addition as well. it. makes sense why they're always busy. if i lived here i would go here so often!!! read more

Not as bustling as some other dessert spots in the area but will be a new go-to for me. Shared a medium shaved ice among 3-4 people and it was perfect and very affordable ($16 for medium). Shaved ice has an ice base (not milk) but it suited the fruits and condensed milk so well. Every bite was very refreshing with the fruits. Flan is on the denser side and not too sweet at all. Pretty quick service, pick up and buss your trays vibe. Definitely want to come back to try some of their other menu items too! read more

Juicy Box - S7. Mixed Fruit Shaved Ice With Flan - Taiwanese Near Me - Houston, Texas

Juicy box is DELICIOUS!!! And if you don't like it get some taste. Haha I had been a few years back and had totally forgotten about it (idk how). But then I saw their videos resurface all over TikTok. So I went and it altered my brain chemistry all over again hehe. So amazing but man the line was stressful. Y'all gotta stop crowding these places hehe but I'm happy they're getting the recognition they deserve. I went and got the mixed fruit shaved ice. It's a bit pricey but delicious. It's 17$ for one bowl but comes with shaved ice, mixed fruit and topped with strawberry ice cream, coconut pudding, flan and drizzled in condensed milk. Delicious! The shaved ice is creamy - melts in your mouth. It's absolutely perfect. Also the ice has taste. I saw another review where they said it's just bland ice. Umm no it's not? It's literally shaved ice mixed in with condensed milk? Some people have no tastebuds lol. You order at a kiosk and they call your number when ready. Pretty fast service. The inside is sort of tight and narrow but when it's not packed you can manage to get a table. I would highly recommend. It's so good!!! read more

I've always loved Juicy Box, it's my go-to spot for shaved ice after a savory meal. The mango shaved ice is my favorite: always sweet and perfectly ripe, even when it's not mango season. The combo of shaved ice, condensed milk, fresh mangoes, strawberries, and ice cream is unbeatable. 10/10. Since it was cold out today, I tried the ginger tofu dessert for the first time. I usually add honey or sugar when I get tofu dessert elsewhere, but this one didn't need anything extra. Perfectly balanced and so comforting. 10/10. read more

I love the shaved ice here ! Comes with plenty of fruit, delicious strawberry ice cream, and tasty flan. The ice is smothered in condensed milk too. It's all just divine. I added mochi to this one as an add on per a friends request. I was able to share this bowl with 3 other friends. You order at the cashier, and they will call out your number when your order is ready. Really low key chill place. I've been here multiple times and always enjoy my dessert read more

We ordered the mixed fruit shaved ice with flan to share among 4 people, and it was more than enough to satisfy everyone. Each of us also happened to prefer a different fruit topping, which made the sharing more harmonious. The shaved ice has a traditional ice base, so every bite was incredibly refreshing without feeling heavy. Cheap, no-frills vibe. Will definitely be back! read more

Kept seeing ads abt the mango sago at juice box online and finally caved in. They require you to pay a minimum amount if you want to pay by card on the kiosk. The wait was not long at all. The mango sago is basically a really heavy mango smoothie with coconut and sago in it. I was not really a fan of the mango. It tasted too dense and heavy and did not really match up with the sago. I think if you want a mango coconut smoothie you're better off just going to heytea. Their mango drink is actually cheaper too... It seems that the shaved ice is the move if you ever come here read more

I checked this place out for the first time today, and the menu variety is honestly impressive. They have everything from traditional shaved ice and fresh fruit smoothies to sago and hot desserts. I ended up getting the mango sago drink. The fruit was actually fresh and ripe, which isn't always the case at these types of spots. I also got the hot almond soup with mochi balls (sesame inside). The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is the state of the dining area. Even though it wasn't super packed when I went, almost every available table was dirty/sticky. I had to go find some napkins and wipe down my own spot just to sit comfortably read more

I tried red bean soup with rice balls, decent red bean flavor but very watery not worth $10. I probably won't return to try other desserts. read more

The sago was HORRENDOUS. I've never had a worse sago. It tasted like water with jelly in it

Can't believe they've been around for 20 years now and I've never shared a review?! This is an OG Bellaire staple. Been visiting this place since their shaved ice was $7 and now it's basically doubled. It's still a solid Taiwanese style fruit shaved ice and dessert place. A lot of the desserts are made in house (ex. Their flan and coconut pudding) and the fruits are always very fresh and ripe. Portions of the shaved ice are pretty big though so make sure you come with friends! They also have a pretty extensive hot dessert menu for the Asian elders that reprimand eating anything ice cold. read more

This dessert store had lots of familiar and new flavors. We ordered and paid for the caramel ice jelly with fruits, but then told it ran out. So then we ordered the herb jelly coconut milk sago as a replacement but they didn't refund the extra cost we paid. We also ordered the durian coconut milk sage with durian ice cream. I'm glad I was able to fine a dessert store that has durian ice cream made with real durian. Since it wasn't in season, the small pieces of durian in the ice cream wasn't as sweet. However overall, but the desserts were a good sweetness. read more

I've been a loyal patron of Juicy Box for years, and their desserts never disappoint! The store is ran by a lovely couple who are super friendly. The flan is always smooth, rich, and silky, just absolutely perfect every time in convenient individual cups. I also love their black sesame soup with tofu, and when I'm in the mood, I add lotus seeds for an extra touch. Their smoothies are refreshing, with the blueberry strawberry slushy being a personal favorite! Just the right balance of sweetness without being overwhelming. Their hot mochi with peanut and black sesame seeds is also good. They are soft, qq, and made to order just like all their other desserts. I do miss their milk tea-flavored shaved ice, but this remains my go-to spot for delicious desserts! read more

I saw a video on Instagram and decided to try this place out. Upon arriving, the parking situation was a little tricky. I waited awhile before going in. I didn't see anyone going inside so I questioned if it was open. Lately, Google establishments been having incorrect store hours so I wasn't sure if it was actually open. I called and a friendly lady answered the phone, she answered all questions I had about the pricing. Once I saw someone go in and come out, I knew they were open. I was greeted with smiling faces which made me feel welcome. These ladies were very nice! I went around 1pm, despite multiple cars in the parking lot. There was hardly anyone on the inside which made it a better experience for me. I really enjoyed the Taiwanese dessert. I got the small over the medium, even though the small looked bigger than the medium (I'll check the dimensions next time I return). The flan was light, not overly sweet, and tasty. I got 1 scoop of mango ice cream with 1 fruit watermelon. I absolutely loved how the coldness made the watermelon like a icey consistency. The condense milk was a nice balance of shaved ice and sweetness. I definitely will be returning as I want to enjoy the medium over the small, the mango slushy, and smoothie. I remember coming to Nu Ice years ago for Lou UYE, but I don't remember Juicy Box being by Nu Ice. This is a nice and cool place to unwind and relax. read more

We got the s4. This is our go to spot for dessert. I love the fresh fruits and the strawberry icecream with the shaved ice. Perfect level of sweetness cool and light to eat post meal. I would say it's perfect for the Houston heat. It can get pretty loud and it's a pretty popular location. I wouldnt recommend getting takeout unless you live close by as the ice can melt. read more

Finally satisfying my sesame cravings! They have a variety of shaved ice and desserts but to me the highlight is that they got the sesame soups and ginger tofu pudding. There no other places in Chinatown that sell them. I ordered the sesame with taro balls, very gooey and cozy and not too sweet. The mochi balls add more texture and fun to eat. This dessert would be perfect when winter comes around. Service was friendly and fast, they got a tv screen under the counter when ordering with topping pictures, I thought that's really cool. This place gets crowded on the weekends but if you come on a weekday you will find plenty parking outside read more

I can't believe it's been 12 years since I last ate at Juice Box (or Juicy Box, according to Yelp?). Their menu is packed with endless, unique options to satisfy even the pickiest palate. I went with the Traditional Shaved Ice with Mangos & Strawberries (S2), and it was just as amazing as I remembered. The shaved ice was perfectly fluffy, and the mix of condensed milk, fresh mango and strawberry, and a scoop of strawberry ice cream made for the perfect dessert--light yet satisfying. Note: Tables are small and could use a cleanup. And as for the restroom... like all in Chinatown, ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK! read more

i tried the shaved ice with strawberry, mango, and watermelon with a friend. it was so good, i took a Mango Coconut Milk Sago With Mango Ice Cream to go to share with my mom! my picky asian mother agrees that it was delicious. they have a screen to order from, but you can also order at the counter which is extremely convenient. there's a decent amount of seating, but on a weekend evening, it can fill up pretty quickly. still, the food is great quality, even when i went during busy hours on a saturday evening. some places like to cut and freeze their fruit beforehand, but not juicy box. the fruit was great quality. it was sweet, and not of questionable texture. if you go around the back, you see they have tons of boxes of fruit, so you know it's fresh. definitely a staple for those who love fruity desserts. will be coming back for more! read more

I was craving dessert I had in the past that had coconut milk, so I set out to find something similar and didn't have to go that far! I ended up at juice box and got coconut milk with sago and grass jelly. It needed to add up to $10 so I ended up getting ube balls added in. Wow! That was really good! The different textures and flavors all paired well with the creamy coconut milk. Perfect dessert if you want something light and not too sweet. The ube balls were nice and chewy. Next time I'll try a dessert with more of those. I will be back! read more

What a cute find. If you're looking for a sweet dessert place and like shaved ice with a little twist, this is the place for you. I love the large menu. So many choices- you can find something to your liking. Prices are reasonable. We got the S7 which is mixed fruit of mango and strawberry, a scoop of strawberry and flan on top. It was NOT TOO SWEET which is a good thing. Plenty of seating. Very casual seating area. Tables were kinda sticky. The interior isn't traditionally cute or modern (aka not a great date place) but it's good enough for a family trip or something low key. read more

I really wanted to like this place because the ice cream is actually pretty good and the staff can be nice sometimes. But almost every time I come here, something in my order is messed up. I try to give them the benefit of the doubt, but it keeps happening. This time, while I was still at the store, I realized the flan and coconut pudding were missing from my order again. What I didn't realize until I got home was that the mochi balls I paid extra for on my ice cream were missing too. It's really frustrating because this isn't the first time things have been forgotten. The desserts are good, but the constant mistakes make it hard to keep coming back. read more

We got flavored shaved ice with fruit toppings and vanilla ice cream on top. Fruit was very fresh. We had a very large party and they accommodated us well near closing time.

Great dessert spot, especially on a hot day! You can never go wrong with a combination of shaved ice, condensed milk, and sweet, refreshing fruits.

My family was visiting TX from Chicago. This was such a treat. My kids devoured several mango strawberry shaved ice in one visit! The fruit was fresh. The service was ok.

Of course I was influenced from TikTok, but upon entering the empty store they didn't greet, I was looking through the menu and still nothing, ordered a mango slush and a watermelon slush and they taste like watered drinks nothing slush about it. Definitely will not come back read more

Employees were rude and had an attitude because their OWN Apple Pay wasn't working and shamed my friend for not having her card with her. One of the employees was sick and had a bad cough. She grabbed a napkin and spit phlegm and didn't even wash her hands. Disgusting and disappointing. Saw the rave on tik tok but not worth it. read more

Was looking for a refreshing drink with pineapple combined with something else, but I didn't know what. So I asked them what would be good with pineapple. Orange pineapple was suggested so I went with it. So glad I did because it was exactly what I was looking for. Sweet, refreshing, a little sour from the pineapple flavor but balanced with the orange sweet citrus. Top service from the girl making mochi balls behind the counter who recommended the orange pineapple. Ambiance was chill. Multiple families on a Friday night but ample seating for a party of 10. Overall 5-Star! Would recommend! Definitely coming back next time I'm in Houston. read more

Stepped into the store and I was spoilt for choices. Plenty of options for each category of dessert; hot dessert, cold dessert, ice cream, shaved ice, snow flake ice, smoothies, teas, and coffee! It definitely took me quite some time to decide because the pics and colors bedazzled me. I settled on a bowl of hot sesame soup with rice ball. The sesame soup was not too sweet and slightly bitter like it should be. It was not as fragrant as I thought it would be. The rice balls (three big ones) had black sesame in them which tasted good. The dessert store was neatly decorated, and the colors were warm and welcoming. Service was great. I would go back to try other desserts. read more

pretty good the mango was nice and sweet and the ice cream was good too. i wanted more toppings but it got really expensive so i just did the basic. i didn't know that you had to spend over 10 dollars to use a card so they charged me an extra 50 cents. overall it wasn't bad but i didn't care for the shaved ice underneath all too much. i also thought the price was a bit step since i spent around 9.50 for it read more
